for not only becoming no. 1 test team in the world... but also to many... who suddenly making the ranking system look crap it has always been... conveniently overlooking the fact that you will always be judged on the prevailing measurable scales which are in effect since the start of twentieth century...
its akin to saying a batsman doesn't deserve century coz he was dropped by fielders on many occasions... or that bowlers were not bowling great line and lengths... but does it matter to a batsman...? is he accountable to the opposition being measurable... or them not having enough good bowlers in their ranks...?
whatever be the adopted ranking system there will always be debate on pros and cons of it...
to be the best side in world india will have to beat top teams at their home... there is no argument on this... but on same token one has to accept that being no.1 and being the best is as different as chalk is from cheese...
much the same way that current no. 1 batsman under the prevailing ranking system is gautam gambhir but saying he is the best batsman in the world... is debatable... but stating the obvious won't take away anything from the efforts gambhir has put in since his comeback to the side...
so while let then sooth their enviously burning asses with this flawed ranking system balm... i for that matter urge you to let not this come in your way in cheering the current no.1 test team... which is india...
cheers!
